Ang Hantaviruses ay grupo ng mga virus na nakukuha sa mga rodent gaya ng daga.

Ayon sa ulat ng World Health Organization (WHO), as of May 7, 2026, may ilang kaso ng Andes virus (mula sa grupo ng Hantaviruses) ang naitala sa mga pasahero ng cruise ship na MV Hondius, na naglayag mula Argentina patungong mga pulo sa South Atlantic.

Tinitiyak ng Department of Health na ligtas ang 38 Filipino crew members na nasa loob ng barkong ito.

Mahalagang paalala ng DOH: WALANG kumpirmadong kaso ng Hantaviruses sa Pilipinas. Mahigpit na binabantayan ang borders ng bansa sa pamamagitan ng mga hakbang ng Bureau of Quarantine.

Nananatiling mababa ang panganib nito sa mundo ayon mismo sa WHO.

‼️DOH: ALAMIN ANG TAMANG IMPORMASYON TUNGKOL SA HANTAVIRUSES‼️

HYPERTENSION AWARENESS MONTH ❤️🩺

May is a reminder for every Filipino to “Know Your Numbers” and take action against hypertension—a growing public health concern in the country.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is often called the “silent killer” because it may show no symptoms but can lead to serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.

📊 In the Philippines, 1 in 10 adults (20–59 years old) has elevated blood pressure, and the risk increases with age.

In CAR, cases are rising—highlighting how lifestyle factors like poor diet, physical inactivity, and stress contribute to this growing burden.

🥗 Good news? Hypertension is preventable and manageable.
Simple daily choices can protect your heart:
✔ Reduce sodium intake (less than 2,000 mg/day)
✔ Limit processed and fatty foods
✔ Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
✔ Stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle
✔ Monitor your blood pressure regularly

💡 Small changes today can lead to a healthier tomorrow. Read the full article in the comments below. 👇
